Statement of Faith

The Good Shepherd Alliance:

·         Is founded upon the faith that there is but one Creator and sustaining God who manifests Himself in three personal revelations as our loving Father, as Jesus Christ the Son, and as the Holy Spirit.

·         We believe that our loving God calls us to love Him and others unconditionally.

·         We believe in the proclamation of God’s love through acts of mercy and justice to the poor.

·         We believe the Bible is God’s inspired Word of loving the world through acts of salvation, mercy and justice.

·         We believe that just as God used ordinary people in the Bible to accomplish His mission of love   so God uses ordinary people today to accomplish His mission of love by proclaiming the Good News of salvation through acts of mercy and justice for those whom society finds hard to love.

·         We believe that it takes a unified effort on the part of all God’s people for His love to be given to and seen in a broken and needy world.
